i dont think draftign a QB in the first round would be a good idea.

This is how i feel.

Our Defense next year will still be solid especcially if we can land one or two good FAs and draft a CB.
Our Offense has talent and i mean talent everywhere except for QB. Our Special teams are playing very well which hasnt been the case for a long time. This team is ready to win right now if we had a legit QB under center.

I say we sign or trade for a good vet. Possible a Mcnair or somebody that can give us 1 or 2 years. Then draft a QB in teh 3rd round or later. A guy with Talent but doesnt yet have it mentally. Let him learn under our vet and coaching staff. Drafting a Guy liek Cutler, Quinn or a top name QB in teh 1st round would limit our spending money for FAs and wat not. Besides for Rothlisberger last year, name one QB that came in, during the last 5 years and did solid during his rookie year??
 
No offense, but your spelling is horrible. Anyways, McNair wouldn't be THAT bad (better than what we have here), but I would rather draft a young QB for the future instead of taking McNair for just 1 or 2 years.

Ya, but even if they draft a rookie, do you think he will start right away? I highly doubt it. So bringing in McNair for a year or two isn't a bad idea. Then the rookie they draft can be a starter in year 3.

One reason I believe rookie QB's arnt successful is this

Most of the teams that draft and start rookie QB's suck. there is no team around them and they are thrown out on the field so fans will have something to watch and cheer for before the QB is ready for that team

but then you look at a guy like kyle orton, not the greatest young QB but he wins because he has a good team around him

If we get a good young QB in the draft and a few FA players we can still win next year

Good point. I like the idea of drafting a QB and bringing in a guy like Kitna to teach our young guy a lot about the NFL. But at this point, it's all about who wants the less amount of money. If we can get Mcnair for a low price, I would take him. But if Kitna wants even less, they we should take him instead.

And a good example of this is Alex Smith. He has had a horrid rookie season. And being drafted #1 overall brought some big expectations. I know a few 49er fans who said that Smith would have turned that whole offence around, but really Smith has been on such a bad offence that he has had nothing to prove so far.
 
If we have to sign Kitna or McNair, I'll say let's keep Frerotte for 2006 because none will answer the QB questions.

Let's a bring a FA QB instead and let him compete with Rosenfels for the starting job.

A first round QB will cost exactly the same as a first round punter. I pray to God that we pick a QB in the first round if there is one to pick. Pick defence later. I swear, some people here love old, washed up garbage at QB because its "too risky" to pick a QB in the first round. Look at the playoff teams last year. nealy every one had a first round QB. Its not much more risky to pick a QB than a CB.

Bring in Kitna or maybe Ramsey to compete w/ Sage. Then if Carson's brother (Jordan) who plays at UTEP comes out draft him. JP is no more than a 3rd rounder and probably a bit of a project.

Another option is Ingle Martin who lost the UF gig to Chris Leak. I was really impressed w/ him in 1-AA playoff yesterday.
 
Just go ahead and go after David Carr. Drafting a QB in the first round is not the answer. Not this years class anyway. The only QB in this class of first rounders is Matt Lienart and we are not going to be high enough to get him. I also hate the idea of drafting Jay Cutler. I have seem him play many of times, However he makes really poor decisions. Something that should be at least decent in college. I think drafting someone in a later round like Omar Jacobs would be fine and signing David Carr. If we can not get him then trade for maybe Brett Favre or Steve Mcnair. There would alos still be some other FA QBs to sign that would be better. This years Draft is not for the QB.
 
IMO, David Carr is not what the Dolphins need at QB. They need a strong leader at QB - and I don't believe Cleo Lemon or Sage Rosenfels are capable of being that leader for an entire season.

the reason rookie QBs aren't successful is because they're not good
 
best available

i think we could draft the best available player bc theres a couple qbs i really wouldnt mind seeing phillip rivers over here he's still young i mean we could really draft any position exept defensive line and we'll be ok bc i mean even reggie waynes a free agent so offensive line is key unless theres a real good qb left in the draft thats the only way i would draft one if you could say that its the second comming of mr. marino but thats really the only way i would want a qb

I can understand your argument but it leads me to ask "what about Dan Marino and Ben Roethlisberger?" They had very successful rookie years. And there have been other QBs, too.

IMO, if a team has a very good supporting cast of talented players, a rookie QB taken in the top 3 rounds can come in and take control about game 5 or 6 of the season and lead the offensive team - while being successful.
